CT sialography: utilising acinar filling.

K Evers, J L Zito, J Fine

    The British Journal of Radiology
    |September 1, 1985
    PubMed
    Summary

    Computed tomographic sialography (CTS) is a safe and accurate method for diagnosing major salivary gland masses. This technique effectively identified 22 mass lesions and 7 inflammatory conditions in 35 patients.

    Area of Science:

    • Radiology
    • Medical Imaging
    • Otolaryngology

    Background:

    • Major salivary gland masses require accurate diagnostic methods.
    • Computed tomographic sialography (CTS) is an imaging technique used for salivary gland evaluation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To assess the diagnostic value and safety of computed tomographic sialography (CTS) for major salivary gland masses.
    • To evaluate the efficacy of acinar glandular filling with oily contrast material in CTS.

    Main Methods:

    • Forty-one CT sialograms were performed in 35 patients.
    • Acinar glandular filling with oily contrast material was utilized.
    • Image analysis focused on identifying mass lesions and inflammatory diseases.

    Main Results:

    • The study identified 22 mass lesions and 7 cases of inflammatory disease.
    • Computed tomographic sialography (CTS) demonstrated high accuracy in lesion detection.
    • Two instances of mild parotitis were observed as a procedural complication.

    Conclusions:

    • Computed tomographic sialography (CTS) is a valuable and safe diagnostic tool for major salivary gland masses.
    • The technique using acinar glandular filling with oily contrast material is effective.
    • CTS provides accurate evaluation of salivary gland pathologies.
